10th Doctor/Tennant Pajamas

[Dave Ward]

OK, dumb question, but did anyone ID these, or find a 'close enoughs'?
It's turning out to be surprisingly hard for me to find a similar pair!
Any help from you Doctor Who folks would be greatly appreciated!

Found this close fabric through the dw cosplay live journal http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/productdetail.jsp?CATID=cat3319&PRODID=xprd893008

 

[Dave Ward]

That's a great find, and a good price, thanks so much! That's definitely a good route to go if I can't find any ready made.
Just out of curiosity, did anyone manage to find an off-the-shelf version? You'd think it would be straight forward but I've been coming up empty.

If you flip that fabric around so the pattern of stripes is reversed it's actually pretty accurate. The lines on the screen used pajamas were solid and these seem to fade on the edges, but other than that it looks good. Looking again, the pattern may be smaller as well.

 

[ratchetrex]

Sorry for not replying in a while my brain has been fried from sourcing some other things but here seems to be a close off the shelf pair but they arent cheap http://tinyurl.com/ylrvoqx

The screen used ones were bought fom Turnbull & Asser in Jermyn St.

 

[Risu]

Still available though?

Still available though?

Knowing them, it's 50/50 it is a classic pattern so they would probably have material to make more if it wasn't, they usually do. Best bet is to take a good picture of the material (don't mention DW) into the store and ask them. They'll fob you off by email, and if you mention Doctor Who, they'll treat you like something you trod in off the street.

thats good that we atleast know now what brand to start sourcing
edit) I just hit up the site and this looks really close but Im not for sure http://www.turnbullandasser.com/sleepwear.html
Go to pajamas then check out the red and blue multi stripe that seems to be as good as they have

 

[Risu]

Not enough white in that one I think. They probably don't still have the same fabric. That dressing gown looks pretty accurate though, they probably got it in the same place.

 

[ratchetrex]

Looks like we may just have to find some fabric for them or something sorry if I have pointed anyone in the wrong direction.

 

[Asp9mm]

They will have the fabric. They always archive yards and yards of their fabrics just in case. Even if the pyjamas have been discontinued, all you have to do is get five to ten buyers interested, and they will remake some more sets for you.

well then I shall be the first to add my name to a list of people that would buy said pajamas if a run should be done.

 

[Risu]

I didn't see a price, how much are they?

if you scroll down a bit it say something along the lines of 350$ ???

 

[Risu]

That's totally not worth it for me. I'd rather get 5 yards of the jo-ann fabric and make my own for roughly $40 total.

Also, the pajamas on their site aren't screen accurate, the collar design is all wrong.

 

[Primrodo]

I barely like WEARING 350...nevermind sleeping in that!

 

[troopermatthew]

The originals are here in the Cardiff Doctor Who exhibit, if i had seen this thread earlier i could have gotten some pictures yesterday! Damn!

 

[Risu]

Just throwing this out here for anybody looking for good material. A super close up:

Great pic, Risu - thanks.
